Hi folks. When a pre-employment screening check is being done, does your line manager get notified or does HR handle without escalation? I want to see if I can get away with having checks done before notifying my firm but won’t risk it if my manager will be made aware

I am delaying my acceptance / start date with the new firm to ensure they don’t start background checks before certain date, as earlier check could trigger my current firm not paying my bonus. If you have any concerns of such kind, best to agree with new employer that they don’t start checks before certain date, or at least don’t contact your current firm

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?
